Lan had an outsized influence on my and so many others lives. I’m so grateful to him for all he taught me about swimming and life.

Lan was an inspiration, whose life ended way to soon. It would be a gift to future generations to continue his legacy of giving and learning by naming our amazing aquatic center after this amazing man.

I swam for Lan from 1994-1997. He was the best coach I ever had!

I met Lan's son, Eric, in college shortly after Lan's passing. Eric and I immediately bonded over our connection to Boone. I saw Lan's legacy in Eric's passion for swimming and magnetic personality. I would love to see his legacy live on at the new aquatic center!

In 1993, I attended the WHS swim team meeting and met Lan for the first time. I wanted to be a springboard diver. He told me to show up for swim practice, and we would do some diving afterward. I attended that first swim practice and was hooked because of Lan. He made you feel like an important part of something, instantly. He also kept his word and coached me in diving 3 extra nights a week. He stayed and hour longer (away from his wife and children), and I now realize he knew nothing about diving! That’s just the kind of person he was, and I loved every moment I was around him. He was always smiling and positive. You could not maintain a teenager bad attitude while in his presence. He is incredibly deserving of this honor.

I can't think of a more deserving individual than Lan.

My father, coach and greatest mentor - I would not be the man I am today without Lan's influence and hope his legacy can live on at the aquatic center he dreamed of for so many years and finally a reality for the community he loved so much.
